My son has been with us for 7 weeks, he is in his 30s and a recovering heroin addict. He smokes weed and takes tablets he buys online. He also has told me that his addiction is my fault and that he’d rather be dead. His room looks horrific and he hardly moves from his bed. I have not been able to get help but am also starting to think that him being sectioned would be the best way forward. He used to be so full of sunshine and generous to his friends. His eyes look dead now and I have become a tolerated inconvenience that he needs for money and food. He has lost most of his friends and I am so sorry for him, but feel he is dominating the house. I am clinging on to my job, just about. But I find it so hard to focus on anything. I’ve feel so sad for others in this situation, it’s not something you want to share with friends.
